Global Partners is a master limited partnership that owns, supplies, and operates liquid energy terminals and fueling locations. It manages a network of about 1,700 gasoline stations mainly in the Northeast United States and handles the importation, storage, and sale of petroleum products across North America, serving wholesale and retail customers. Its business model centers on sourcing crude oil, gasoline, and distillates, storing them at terminals, and distributing them through its network of fueling locations, with revenue generated from selling these products. The company differentiates itself through its long history (over 90 years), its role as an independent owner/supplier/operator of terminals and stations, and its focused, regional footprint that spans the supply chain from import to point of sale. Its goal is to reliably supply petroleum products to its broad customer base by expanding and efficiently managing its network and logistics.
